External UNLOADER VALVE Bypass Water Back to Tank for Small Pressure Washing Business Tips 

We're you able to get this to work ? Any tips ?

How is it working so far? I was thinking about getting the same washer to start out with. But this is a very good tip. Was wondering if you've tried this yet, and if so, how's everything working ? Any new or additional tips you care to share?

I cant get mine to start out of box

@@Astrojamus I ended up returning mine.

@@RodderTV i got mine to start it ended up not having oil in it lol

We watch a Filipino blogger in Papua New Guinea. He helps a woman with like 6 kids. It’s odd to see black Africans that can’t speak any other language than Spanish in the middle of Africa. I’m sure you know what I’m saying. 😊

Glad to help!

How did you hook up that hose to the quick connect for the bypass

​@440pressurewash I believe you can order special quick connects with a hose barb on the other end. That's probably what he used or he just used a 3/8 male quick connect and a hose that fit snug over the threads with a small hose clamp holding it in place since that line isn't under pressure this would work fine. I'm in the process of adding one of these to my 3200psi Predator but I'm actually disconnecting the first unloaded and using the second unloaded for the pressure control and the water dump. This other guy just put out a really good video showing you how about a month ago. Don't know his YT name.

Thank you. Hope you stay busy also with your business

Hey, no problem, I'm happy it helped you out!

What fittings do we need to buy to with the unloader? Can you link them? @@MyPressureWashingBusiness

@@nathan3647 honestly, I got a brand new Vive or 4 gallon a minute machine and couldn’t get it to start and I’m still having troubles with it because I had to move and had to do my work with my old pressure washer. I do landscaping most of the time, so I haven’t been able to prioritize getting it working and it’s a hard thing to return as it is a large item to ship so we’ll see

No problem. It really does work. I ran that machine hard and never had any pump issues.

@@MyPressureWashingBusiness I've seen posts online saying they are a really good machine, I'm actually looking at buying one to but I might try build a washer 😅

I've heard of people running two machines together like that. I actually just got a 10GPM and it's been awesome for concrete but It's taking some getting used to. I guess I still like the 4GPM

I listed the links in the description. I'm sorry they were not there before. And it's probably a late reply. amzn.to/3WcM61l

You're didn't have a thermal relief on the bottom side of you're axial pump? I just got my Predator Pressure washer but it's the 3200PSI 2.8 GPM one and mine has a thermal relief valve on the bottom right beneath the water inlet with a little black plastic fitting pointing away from operator. I'm curious do I need to add the external relief unloader still like you show in this video or could I run a hose connected to the thermal relief valve and running to my reservoir tank?

@@crossfiregaming9541the thermal relief valve is not going to protect you anything like this valve. Don’t let the pressure washer idle without pumping water for more than a minute and you don’t need to worry about adding this at all. If you think you’re someone that may make that mistake then I’d add this.

Not sure, I've honestly never tried to put it really low like that but it might not make a difference.

This is the exact unloader I bought. Sorry it wasn't in the description General Pump PULSAR4KHP Unloader a.co/d/0wq6och

Cant go wrong with a GP product. Thanks again@@MyPressureWashingBusiness

@@MyPressureWashingBusiness Got my unloader. Ready to install. Thanks again

Well, Im in business ru-vid.comne7wz0bj_WA?feature=share@@MyPressureWashingBusiness

Item is out of stock on Amazon grrrr

Hi, Yes it will work on your simpson, I actually have a few close pressure washing friends that have that same machine with the bypass on them!

I just posted a video called "small pressure washer on buffer tank" it shows the basic set up. Not complete details but I will try and shoot a better video when I get some free time.

Appears to be 3/8 on the machine side and for the tip side you'll need 1/4 inch.

You don't need a water tank but a lot of guys use them because some houses that have older well pumps have poor water flow but Most modern homes have great water pressure. So the answer again is no you don't have to have a water tank with a 4gpm machine.

I have a Hudson float valve on it so it stays full. But I usually shut the water off when I'm finishing up a job and I get like 10-15 minutes of surface cleaning time with the 4gpm

Or at least they look like male end quick connects on Amazon but I’m guessing just insert it into the garden hose even if it’s not barbed?

Hi, This machine comes with a thermal relief valve already installed but keeping water running through the pump is not what thermal relief valve is for. By the time the relief valve pops the pump has already reached a very hot temperature.

It's a water float valve that shuts off and on by itself. It keeps the buffer tank full at all times. There will be a new updated video out explaining all that in a few weeks

Hi. I'm Actually putting a better video together now explaining 4gpm on the buffer tank. Should be out in a few weeks.

Good question my friend. Let's say you are in the middle of a house wash and the customer pats you on the back to ask you a quick question or you have to run back to the truck to grab something. It happens a lot! Anyways, At this point you are not holding the trigger down anymore and cold water is no longer flowing. The unloader valve that comes with your machine has told the pump to stop pulling more water from your water source. The water now has nowhere to go and it is just sitting in the pump spinning around and around getting very hot. All it takes a few minutes and your pump is taking damage to the seals inside. If you continue to do this house after house your pump will not last long at all. That's why a lot of guys are installing this external unloader valve.

Thank you

No I do not. I use general Pump chemical injectors. They are only like 20 bucks. You don't want to run chlorine through the built in injector

We have tried it out most of the box store 4gpm pressure washers and it always worked. Not sure about smaller washers. I can't be certain without doing a test.

Yes, my pressure washer is drawing off a gravity fed buffer tank. I actually just posted a video explaining how it works. The Video is called "small pressure washer on buffer tank"

Do you found a working solution already?

@@Mantra1988 yes I did

@@Jypze would be great if you can Tell me whats the solution, because i want to bypass through a external unloader too.

​@Mantra1988 did you ever get the answer to this question??

This is the exact one I bought for it. Sorry I didn't put it in the description.

Thank you very much. I got a used DeWalt 4400 from Facebook market in great shape and after seeing your video you convinced me to go with the bypass. Great job my friend. I’m located in Wesley Chapel, FL. Wish me luck.

@@wilfredoperez3177I wish you great success! good luck my friend.

​@@MyPressureWashingBusinessyou can edit the description at anytime to add it. I used your links, not sure if you get a kick back.

@@MyPressureWashingBusiness Noted and thank you very much 👏🏾😊

General Pump PULSAR4KHP Unloader a.co/d/0wq6och This is the exact unloader I am using. Sorry the link wasn't in the description

Thanks

I put the links in the description but I'll have to check and see if they are working. Here is the correct link for you my friend. amzn.to/3WcM61l

I was wondering what the point of using two unloader valves was. Can you do it the same way with just the factory valve?

I believe on this machine, the unloader is a thermal relief valve, so it works a little differently.

Can someone please clarify this information? Just bought this PW and wanted to see about adding a bypass with downstream. Also.....wanted to see if electric start could be added to this 4400 pressure washer as well. Im brand new to all of this so please, break it down to relatively manageable information not industry jargon. Looking to learn with resourceful information. I appreciate all of your responses.
